help on a few SMS annoyances please

hello there, I have some stuff I'd like to change regarding SMS. I've got a P3300 with official WM6.
I'd prefer to change this through some options (tho I didn't find) or registry edit. If possible to do what I need without installing more (battery draining) applications, would be best, but if there is no other choice, I'll take a look at whatever application u suggest.
- when I am underground and I send an SMS, it tells me it can't be send, and the message goes into the temp. folder (dunno english name of this folder) and I have to resend it manually. I'd like it to resend automatically as soon as I have signal again. That's what my previous nokia phones did.
- when I send a SMS successfully, I get a popup and "ding" telling me it was send. I don't want this, I only want to know if there was an error. I send loads of messages, and this popup is rather annoying.
- since I have WM6, when i open messages through the today plugin, it always asks me if outlook, sms or mms... with wm5 it always went into the last one I used. I'd like this functionality back, is it possible?
is there any FAQ of different kind of tweaks that can be done with a P3300 wm6 just through options or registry? if yes, could you please link it, I'd like to take a look at that.
thx for everything

Yes, this question has been answered be4 too. Search and you will find it or else, i will try to find it 4 you this weekend. I thought its possible...

hopefully you can find that info and give me a hand. i tried the forum search function but as i dont know exactly what i am looking for, my search is too generic and i get loads of results (most about tweaked roms) that don't help me at all.
EDIT: found answer to 3) by myself. SOLUTION: open messages, go into menu->tools->options and there you can setup the different types of message accounts you have. at the bottom is an option to enable or disable the account selector. i just turned that off.

For the SMS sent notification:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Inbox/Settings/SMSNoSentMsg and set it to "1".

With the mentioned registry edit, you are not notified if the message fails to send. It just tries it, and puts it in sent items. If it fails it will not be re-send again by WM6.
you can fix the SMS/OUTLOOK/MMS thing in Options in your Messaging program.

ok, thx to that registry edit i get the sms sent popup no more. but i don't get any popup warning if it fails.
i've heard something about a different regedit key, with different numbers like
0 = no warn
1 = all warns
2 = only bla bla bla warn
3 = only ble ble ble warn
etc.
any1 got an idea about this?
also, any way to have the phone re-send failed sms automaticaly when i have signal again?
i am at a point that i would also try some SOFTWARE if needed, tho i prefer if it can be done just by registry.

Not familiar with those options. But why don't you give it a try and report back here.

Text Messages (1)

Anyone else having this problem? I deleted all my text messages and the header still says Text Messages (1) as if there is 1 unread one... ????!?!

Not sure exactly...When I get a text and read it but don't want to delete it stays on the topbar. I have to go back to text messages page on the panel and scroll on it again. It will usually then remove it from the topbar. If you don't need the text message just delete it and it also is removed from the topbar on homescreen. I don't know if thats what you are having issues with but that's not the end of the world for myself.

I'm using WM6.1. It has the threaded text message strings. After i go into a message/conversation and read the text message it should remove the (1) from the top bar signifying no unread messages. I've read all my messages and even went as far as deleting them all but the (1) still persists!

Did you try to restart the phone like turn it off and back on... Also check your MMS maybe you have some message that was unread in there... Check it out and get back if this does not fix it...

Go to your registry and check the value there, look in : HKCU\System\State\Messages, and look in sms or wherever and check the count, if at 1 then set it to 0.

Also, remember the message is not "Read" if you just view without responding.
if you dont respond, you need to <- out of it....not hitting the home key or cancel or whatever.
that is the only thing that works for me.

I have a similar problem, when I view a text message it is not marked read immediately, and home screen shows the mail icon. To get over this problem, I do the following: after reading a message, I press Menu->Close instead of just pressing the BACK button.

nooooooooooooooooo i can't seem to do anything to get rid of it! i delete all the messages and even after that reset the registry key stated by showaco and after a restart it still shows [email protected] ARGghghhghghg

Could it be an unread message stored in another folder such as Drafts or Trash?

Unfortunately not
I checked each folder and went as far as emptying them all

Listen, i try to explain how to do:
go to : Start-settings-accessibility- sms inbox threating -and make it :disable
then
to go: start-celetask and close text messages
open text messages and view if you have messages unread...
and make sms inbox threating enable
close another time text messages with celetask and im sure thats is ok
i m so sorry for my english

Solution Halleleujuah!!!!

MMS Sent Notification (NOT SMS)

Ok... First of all, this is NOT ABOUT SMS (Regular Text Messages). I have LONG known about the SMS sent disable key.
Now that we have that out of the way. For whatever reason, when I send, forward, or reply to an MMS (picture/Video message), I still get notifications, even with the SMS Notification Disabled. Am thinking that because it's a whole new program, the registry key for that portion is in a different area. I have not found it YET.
IF ANYONE has found the Registry key and, with success, have changed it... Let me know..
Thanks

Seems pretty straight forward... We will see as time goes on.
There is one other notification that seems to be evading me, however.. I have one of those bluetooth car kits. For whatever reason, the "Volume up/down" on the bluetooth is not compatible with the phone, no biggie..... EXCEPT... Every time it connects, reconnects, re-syncs, etc... I get the same message. It states "The Volume control on the bluetooth device is not supported by this phone, please adjust volume on the headset" (probably not 100% accurate, but it's generally what it says). I understand why it's there, however, I've known about it for quite a while now.... I don't need to be reminded. Is there a way to rid myself of that notification?
Thanks

Mail and Text problems.

I have handcent (which I prefer to the standard HTC text) but whenever I receive a text I get alerts for both the HTC text AND Handcent. So I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar. I've been looking for ages to find a way of disabling the HTC text but can't find anything.
Also I have a virtually identical problem with emails. whenever I receive email to my Gmail account, I receive two notifications, one for Googlemail and one for Mail. Again, I have to open them both in order to clear the notification bar.
Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

you don't need to open the message, just scroll down (pull down) the notification bar and on the top right it should say "Clear" and that will get rid of any notifications you have got exept for music when its playing or any other program you've got running that has an icon on the notification bar..
hope this helps!

Switch off notifications in the "Messages" app (within app untick Menu->Settings->Received Notification")
Switch off notifications in one of "Gmail" or "Mail" (similarly can be done via settings in Gmail/Mail.)
Regards,
Dave

Thanks for that, I have actually done so but I still have a problem when receiving texts. When a text comes in, I'm presented with the text displayed in the stock messaging box, I have to close that and open handcent to reply - which is quite annoying.
Any thoughts?

This is the answer because that's exactly what myself and many others have done. I can tell you that it works.
You must have unchecked the wrong options.

When you say the "stock messaging box", are you referring to the HTC widget? If so, you need to remove this. Also, have you ticked "Enable popup" in Handcent's notification settings?

[Q] Email messages not fully downloading

One big difference tween the bb and the tcp2 is my email accts. On the tcp2, when I receive an email, it usually gives me the message that the rest of the message will download the next time I send and receive. Is there anyway I can get the entire email when I open the message? Thanks.

dude go to email settings then double click on your account name then just change download size setting..
simple na

I have changed the settings before and not had any better results, but will look at again. Seems like it is through windows phones that I have this issue.

open the messaging program in the start menu and go to options in the menu, then you have to change the download size settings for each e-mail account you have, it's usually default at 2kb but you can change this to entire message

OK, I hear what you're saying......
But I don't see a download limit on my options menu! I'm running the new AT&T ROM (not a cooked one). I've been through the home tab settings, the start menu settings, and messaging options. Don't see it. Any thoughts?!?

Did you look in Messaging, Menu>Tools>Options, and selected an account in the list?
With POP/IMAP accounts, that should give you 3 options, one of which is to change the download size.

Finally found it, thanks.

After a few days though, messages become unavailable, the white envelope icon on the left side of the message in the list, has the green pointing down arrow on them.
This is for plain text emails too, can't read them. I have set the options to download the whole email always and all the attachments.
Any ideas?
